Walton or Walton d'Eiville is a small hamlet just south of Wellesbourne in the civil parish of Wellesbourne and Walton, in the Stratford-on-Avon District, in the county of Warwickshire, England. It is next to the River Dene and is most notable for Walton Hall which is now a hotel and spa. It is home to the Hamiltons who own the land and many of the villages houses. The village comprises 15 cottages, plus the old estate office, forge, school house, farm, and the old laundry. There has been some kind of settlement at Walton, on the little river Dene, between the Fosse Way and Wellesbourne, since the Iron Age times. The field to the south of the House, the site of the deserted village of Walton d 'Eivile, is still known as the Old Town.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Dene, about 10 m from the middle of Walton's gauges. It flows into the River Avon about 5.9 km downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on the River Dene nearest the middle of Walton's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist. This describes where water goes on the map; it says nothing about flooding at any address. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
